As most of you know, the 941 Form for a new year will not be released until the third month of the year. The IRS does this because they do not want you to use it to report the last quarter of the last year.

If it is the end of the First Quarter of a year and you do not see the current version, you have not kept PayWindow up to date. See this page on how to get updates to the program:

The 941 Form is a Quarterly Report and is NOT a tool to figure out your tax payments from month to month, that is what the Employer Totals Report is for. When you open the Report Center, it is the third report on the right. One of two reports you should print each payday. The other is also seen in that screen, the Normal 80 report. They should be saved for 7 years for any possible audits in the future.

See this page in the help file for more details:

So remember to keep using your Update Checker during the year to pick up changes such as the bugs, tax changes, when the 941 Form for a new year is released.

Use the Employer Totals Report to get *all* of your tax liabilities NOT the 941.
